On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020 or even dogfighting in Battlefield 2042, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

Please create a scenario where The A-10C & F-15E are competing against each other while technically on the same team but not really looking out for each other, trying to get the most kills (+ Important Kills), and of course survival! VS Couple Mi-24's, few Iglas, Strela, Tunguska, SA-11, and couple SU-25's! Plus provide ground support! VS .50 Technical Trucks, BTR's, BMP's, T-72's, and couple T-90's!🙏👍

My wife was asking what the difference between 1- and 2-circle fights were. You couldn't have explained it more clearly!

[@drannn360]

I talk about tactics with my wife and she just smiles and nods to make me feel better. 😂 I know she couldn’t give a shit

[@karabenomar]

So helpful! We've had countless 1-circle vs. 2-circle dogfights but how you actually go about forcing your preferred fight on the bandit was always a bit of black magic. Thanks!

[@GabrielOliveira-cu1du]

Bro, the way you just know exactly what to do amazes me! I wish I had a setup to fly like this

[@Patrick-zr8tv]

He's clearly very experienced that's for sure. I would say most of the skill is in being able to read the fight though. He seems to have impeccable situational awareness and can very quickly figure out how the fight is developing, allowing him to respond appropriately. It makes me jealous because I consider myself a pretty good fighter but I just cannot read the fight like GS can.

[@GabrielOliveira-cu1du]

@@Patrick-zr8tv I *think* that I could be a decent flyer (even though I’ve never used any flight sim), but it would take a long time before I would be able to read the fight like he does. Thx for the reply!

Over the years you got better and better at explaining this and this video is the absolute peak. Even a complete novice should be able to get it this time.

Love your videos!! I was a AD2 in the Navy and worked on the F/A 18 Hornet. I was on the USS Saratoga CV-60 and in Desert Storm and was on its last cruise, But you definitely need better opponents!!

This by far the best explanation of the basic fight manuvers i have seen in the platform

[@mattshreve9096]

Thank you for the extra explanations and diagrams. I finally understand 1-circle vs 2-circle!! I've been watching your videos for years, and I never fully understood the terminology until now.

[@optikid0373]

Man your ability to both focus on a fight and win while also explaining exactly what you’re doin is impressive. Good job and thanks for tips

[@angelosmyth7186]

I've seen you explain this before, but this is your best video on the subject - great job!

[@BrianTRice77]

I love how far you’ve come in using diagrams, inflight explanations, and then TacView debriefs to get at combat geometry and tactics. I think I found this channel like 4 years ago when you were first grappling with a solid training in BFM and the tacview videos were great, but clearly meander a bit with what to present and why, and now you’ve got it laid out nicely.

[@muratbozkurt5967]

Fantastic illustrations!! Great dogfighting course. Thanks for your efforts...... You're the proof that it is not the plane but the pilot who wins at the end!

[@daszieher]

You are the channel which has up to date best explained the terms rate fight, two-circle and one circle. In my early sim-flying days I had to learn the hard way. 😊 I remember flying aircraft, which could get around the circle faster than mine, but I could turn tighter, if there was space, so I had to resort to "bobbing" up and down, to "mess" up the quasi-static race around the circle that the opponent would have won. I also remember surprising other opponents in a rolling scissors by pointing the lift vector behind them while keeping them "over the shoulder" and cutting throttle on the way down and powering on on the way up. Funny, when you "sort of" learn by finding out and "misinterpreting" old handbooks. With YT knowledge is disseminated basically for free. Thank you!

[@mikewebber4784]

Love the pop up diagrams and then the tacview debrief. Really helps me to understand how the fights develop.

[@theskullkid421]

Thanks for the great explanation of 1 vs 2 circle…for some reason I’ve been struggling with this concept lol

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

my pleasure, glad you found it helpful

[@RudyRedTop]

The added visual examples are a great touch no matter how many times I've heard you explain it. They really help me actually visualize what you mean in my head.

Awesome episode. Loved this tacview - it's been too long. Thanks for the show!

Love the videos bro! as much as i love the dog fighting and learning from you really love the BVR and mission videos! keep bringing great content brother

[@ojile13]

Yeah I used to prefer the dogfights, but as I've watched more and learned more, I now definitely prefer the BVR

[@finjuise]

So much love in the comments, nice to see that in today's internets! Of all the 1/2 circle explanations you've done this was clearly the best. I wish nothing but success to you. The amount of work you put in to these videos is something else. Don't work too hard, Christmas break is still long way ahead ;)

[@LDSG_A_Team]

Beautiful fight, even better explanations. Thank you sir

[@Lee-sti8wrx]

Cheers for the explanations dude, love the tacview. You're training the next bunch of peeps to fight you, which is awesome because more people to fight = more GS videos. Sick plan bro lol. Loved the video as always man.

I LOVE the chess of this. The tactical "Oh he got slow you see..." I can keep trying to force one circle. As long as he keeps above 350 he can ride above my nose.

[@blessthismessss]

as someone who's been studying BFM as a passionate hobby since your sub count was in the tens of thousands, i personally really like these vids as refreshers, especially seeing as counter-2 circle tactics are honestly some of the least straightforward things to learn with bfm.

[@mehmedbeklenen5059]

[@Xaunoki]

I liked the little two circle and one circle diagrams you put in the upper left of the screen. I know what you're talking about because I've been watching for years at this point, but for newer subscribers, it probably helps tremendously to understand what you're referring to. It seems like the offset two circle initiation process is more or less half of a lazy eight.

Your flight physics rocks bro, love your content. Tim UK.

[@lukecreamer8426]

10:35 the viper gets nose on first because it wins the two circle, and this was still a two-circle, but the offset meant it was a head-on snapshot with plenty of room for jinking and pilot error, not the F-16 chillin on your 6. A professional F-16 pilot would do what GS said and match your movements. There are degrees to maneuvering in relation.

It appears the mig 29 is quite the gunfighter too. Of course pilot makes all the difference

[@keepwalking6041]

actually he is king of dogfights together with su27.. back in 80s russians had total superiority in dogfights due to schmell ability to fire off-boresight archer infrared missile.. it means well 100 % win on dogfight scenarios.. only hope for west was BVR fight but back then it was far from perfect, dogfights would happen naturally..

[@controllerpleb6568]

I don't really have any interest in dog fighting myself, but it's really cool to see such a skilled pilot explain the maneuvers.

[@tomcatvrkalisz820]

Good knowledge there. Btw you could also mentioned that who turn last deside if the fight flow would be 1C or 2C. In not fair play scenario players do build turning room before merge for lead turn but doing that they give up the flow decision.

[@TheRibbonFighter]

Would love to see the following. Su-30SM vs Su-57, Su30sm vs Su-75, and su-57 vs Su-75.

[@ycplum7062]

I am a visual person, not an audio person. I understand better when I can "see" what is being said. To do arithmetic problems, I need to write it down. TO memorize phonenumbers, I either need to write it down or visualize the numbers in my head. Your diagrams are incredibly helpful.
